More quotes by Ludwig van Beethoven
Fate gave to man the courage of endurance.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Recommend to your children to be virtuous, only the virtue can bring us happiness, not the money.
Ludwig van Beethoven
The vibrations on the air are the breath of God speaking to man's soul. Music is the language of God. We musicians are as close to God as man can be. We hear his voice, we read his lips, we give birth to the children of God, who sing his praise. That's what musicians are.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Richard Wagner commenting on the music of Ludvig Van Beethoven: He was a Titan, wrestling with the Gods.
Ludwig van Beethoven
I love a tree more than a man.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Let your deafness no longer be a secret - even in art.
Ludwig van Beethoven
I have always reckoned myself among the greatest admirers of Mozart, and shall do so till the day of my death.
Ludwig van Beethoven
We all make mistakes, but everyone makes different mistakes
Ludwig van Beethoven
Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life. Although the spirit be not master of that which it creates through music, yet it is blessed in this creation, which, like every creation of art, is mightier than the artist.
Ludwig van Beethoven
It is my belief one should not belittle the artist while, however glorious his fame may seem, his time on Mount Olympus as an honourable guest of Zeus is short. It's a pity, but all too eager will the common folk drag him from this etherial heights to the low and trodden earth.
Ludwig van Beethoven
My heart is full of many things there are moments when I feel that speech is nothing after all.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks and invents.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Nothing is more intolerable than to have to admit to yourself your own errors.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Only art and science can raise men to the level of God.
Ludwig van Beethoven
A great poet is the most precious jewel of a nation.
Ludwig van Beethoven
It seemed unthinkable for me to leave the world forever before I had produced all that I felt called upon to produce
Ludwig van Beethoven
Oh continue to love me, never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved. Ever thine. Ever mine. Ever ours.
Ludwig van Beethoven
such incidents brought me to the verge of despair, but little more and I would have put an end to my life - only art it was that withheld me, - ah, it seemed impossible to leave the world until I had produced all that I had felt called upon to produce.
Ludwig van Beethoven
But what a humiliation for me when someone standing next to me heard a flute in the distance and I heard nothing, or someone standing next to me heard a shepherd singing and again I heard nothing. Such incidents drove me almost to despair a little more of that and I would have ended my life - it was only my art that held me back.
Ludwig van Beethoven
Strange, I feel as if up to now I had written no more than a few notes.
Ludwig van Beethoven
